  1. I am not from the Jacksonville area (live in Lake County) but I can certainly relate to your situation. I've been out of acute care settings since 1993; took a refresher course last summer and just landed a position in the hospital setting. I didn't ...
  2. 1st NP Job Offer... Need Advice!

    My first PNP job was in NC in 1994. I was able to function as a NP Applicant until the NC Board of medical examiners approved my license at their scheduled meeting 2 months after my application was rec'd. I worked in a private practice so I did not a...
  3. [help/ vent!] Dissertation Theme help!

    #3 would be my choice; especially since reading threads you see so many different policies/protocols that change weekly or daily. Since this is an issue that affects reimbursement, you may have hospital support. You could work collaboratively with in...
  4. Do you think I need a RN refresher course?

    I don't think you need a refresher course. I agree with Suesquatch, find a position in an acute care hospital; some facilities offer internships for new grads. Good luck!
  5. cpr recert

    I don't think you'll have a problem. I took a class and my CPR was expired over 2 yrs. The class format has changed; it was fast moving with lots of opportunity to demo. Good luck!!
  6. Moving to Tampa in July

    Apply for your FL license online now; it can take 4-6 wks (and longer so I've heard). Apps are online; if you've only held a license in one state it shouldn't take too long for FL BON to verify but the verification can be the hold up. FL offers a tem...
  7. life after NP?

    Do you have your MSN? You won't need to renew your NP to teach at the community college level, just need your masters. There are alot of openings for educators. I'm a PNP and have not worked for the past 4 years as a PNP. I took a refresher course f...

    FL hospital and ORMC have tons of positions posted on their websites; are you trying to find an asst nurse manager position? There are also hospitals outside of Orlando with positions (Leesburg, Health Central, South Lake). Maybe you should consider ...
  9. FNP student with ? re: how many minutes per patient?

    The MDs in the Peds practice I worked saw ill pts every 10-15 min and during busy periods were double booked. I saw ill kids in 15 min increments and negotiated to see well kids every 30 min; most times they squeezed in 2 wells and a sick every hr....
  10. PLEASE SHARE YOUR WISDOM about NP school

    I went to grad school in Pgh in '94. At that time the PNP/CNS program was undergoing a change in curriculum so ours was the last class to graduate under the old curriculum. I could clearly see the newer program was a better one. However, I had grea...
  11. Arnold/Winnie Palmer NICU in Orlando?

    Hey Shannon: I worked NICU in 1993 and want to return; are the nurse managers/educators at Winnie open to hiring nurses that have been away from the bedside? I took a refresher course this year but of course the clinicals were adult M/S floor. I am n...
  12. question about pediatric/adolescent physicals

    In our practice, LPN's did Ht, Wt, hearing, vision, immunizations, and asked brief history dealing with food/formula/urination/BM and if had any concerns for the provider. We had one RN, sometimes LPN on the phone all day doing phone triage. We had 3...
